Turtle Bay and a Top Knot

Ethan has spent the past few days in Turtle Bay in Mexico. Their next destination to Bahia Santa Maria has been put off a few days while the fleet waits in the safety of Turtle Bay awaiting the big storm (or may it is a hurricane, I am not sure) passes by southern Mexico.

Ethan is having a good time on the Schooner Patrica Bell.

This is Ethan with Anna Elise, who speaks fluent Spanish, which comes in handy when you are in a small, rural Mexican town and speak very little Spanish yourself. Notice the top knot? I would never have guessed that he would go for a hair style like that one.

Ethan says that Turtle Bay is like Utah, but with an ocean. He says it reminds him of Jamaica where most of the buildings are only partially built and the roads are all dirt. Everything seems to have a fine layer of dirt on it. The people of the town have been very welcoming.

Welcome to My Blog

Welcome to "A Need to Create." This blog started out as a way to document and share the various kinds of creations I enjoy making.

However, it has become more like a diary of our family events. You'll find lots of posts about my kids, Ellie (17) who is a senior in high school and Ethan (21) who is currently being a sailor on a tall ship off of the West Coast. They are on the verge of adulthood and I am thankful to be part of their journeys.

I also like to cook and post recipes. I post a lot of our recipes. We were Paleo for a while, and now my husband is vegan. I craft, quilt, sew, paint, knit, etc. when I have time.

I hope you find something to amuse you, inspire you, or at least make you smile. Thanks for stopping by.

About Me

I have a nearly insatiable need to create things - from paper, paint, fabric or food. While it is fun to have end products, it is the act of creating that it important. It can put me in a nearly Zen-like state of happiness and contentment. My postings here will chronicle my processes.
I am a mom of two kids, Ethan (18 years old) and Ellie (14 years old). I met my husband on a blind date in high school and have been in love ever since. By day I am a HS English teacher. I also teach reading and am an English as a Second Language teacher. I also write and facilitate online professional development graduate level courses for teachers.
